"What should I do, Mom? What if Brother Lu Yang believes Lu Ronghui's slander? What if he tries to kick me out?"
She didn't want to leave the Lu family, and she didn't want to stay in the Bai family either.
No matter how long she stayed at home, her father only cared about her brother and didn't care about her at all. Although her mother cared about her, she couldn't offer her anything.
Although she shared a room with Lu Ronghui at the Lu family home, that room was large enough to fit two beds.
She could only sleep in a bunk bed at the Bai family's house. The upper bunk could hear her if she turned over, so she couldn't sleep at all. The room was also partitioned, making it difficult to even turn over.
Also, Aunt He loves her very much.
Bai Rongjun was absolutely certain that Aunt He was the person who loved her the most in the world, and the person who could give her the most. She couldn't bear to part with Aunt He.
Chen Hongxia was thinking much more deeply. This wasn't about whether or not she could stay in the Lu family. As long as Lu Yang came back, there was no hope for her job.
The Song family's daughter had only recently gone to join the army, so there was absolutely no way Lu Yang would bring her back at this time. Lu Ronghui must have said something behind his back.
Chen Hongxia's life is ruined; she can't let Rong Jun suffer the same fate.
Her original name was Lin Yingyu. Her family used to own a textile factory, which was very wealthy and at its peak employed several thousand workers.
She was the youngest daughter in her family and was pampered and spoiled from a young age.
However, later, as her family members followed the Nationalist army to flee to Taiwan, her family's stance was wrong and they were afraid of being punished later, so the whole family had to move to the United States.
However, an accident occurred during the transfer, and she was left behind.
She was afraid that her original identity would be discovered, so she had no choice but to find Bai Xiangdong and marry him under the identity of another woman.
From then on, Lin Yingyu ceased to exist in this world; only Chen Hongxia, who grew up in the countryside, remained.
She inherited Chen Hongxia's name and social identity, and fearing that her identity would be exposed, she severed ties with the Chen family. Over the years, she has stayed at home and has not gone out to socialize with others.
He Shuyue was one of her few friends.
She felt that this was all she could do in her life: give birth to several children, raise them with great difficulty, and spend her whole life working around the stove and boiler.
But when she saw her youngest daughter, she was unwilling to accept that, because the daughter did not look like Bai Xiangdong.
She looks remarkably like someone from the Lin family.
Lin Yingyu immediately started making plans for her daughter. She couldn't let her end up like her. The Lu family had no daughters and were well-off, so she sent her daughter to the Lu family.
The previous three children were Chen Hongxia's children, only Bai Rongjun was Lin Yingyu's child.
"Don't be afraid, Mom will definitely find a way to help you."
"But?"
"Don't be afraid. Even if Lu Yang knows that He Shuyue is going to give you the job, it's her own choice. You can't be blamed for this."
He can't stay home forever. After he leaves, Lu Ronghui will still have to go to the countryside, and you'll still get the job then.
Yes, as long as Aunt He continues to love her and make plans for her, even if Brother Lu Yang opposes her now, she will still be able to get a job after he leaves.
"Just pretend you don't know anything about this, stay home and try to calm Ronghui down once she's not angry anymore. Aunt He won't abandon you, and neither will your mother."
————
Lu Yang looked at his parents with a cold expression.
"So, because of an outsider staying in our house, you forced Rong Hui to drink medicine and be hospitalized."
Have you considered the consequences if it hadn't been discovered in time? She's only 17!
Lu Yang practically shouted his last sentence. Lu Weiguo sat silently on the sofa smoking, while He Shuyue looked somewhat dissatisfied.
She had been married for several years without having children, and Lu Weiguo had a bright future. Her mother-in-law and outsiders ridiculed her, saying she was a barren hen.
After finally giving birth to Lu Yang, she thought he would only have this one child in her life.
People used to have a hard life, with war and famine. She was so sick from hunger that she felt incredibly lucky to have given birth to Lu Yang.
She sees her son as her only hope, and no one is as important to her as Lu Yang.
Even if she later brought Rong Jun back, and even became pregnant with Lu Ronghui, Lu Yang's importance to them was still different.
When has her son ever treated her like this? All because of that brat Lu Ronghui's tricks.
"Why are you trying to appease your mother? Besides, nothing's happened. She just wanted your mother to send Rong Jun away; how could she possibly be willing to die?"
Lu Yang looked at He Shuyue with great disappointment, "Even now, Mom, don't you regret it?"
Lu Weiguo was somewhat irritated. He had never been insulted like this before, especially since it was his own son.
"Alright, your mother knows she was wrong. She can just send Bai Rongjun away from now on. What's the point of arguing? It'll only make us a laughingstock."
“You’re not afraid of being laughed at by outsiders for doing such things, but I’m afraid of being laughed at if I say a few words.”
"Mom and Dad, I knew before that you favored Bai Rongjun, but I never imagined it would go this far."
"What happened to Rong Jun? It was your sister who was jealous that your mother treated her better than you, so she framed Rong Jun."
He Shuyue felt that her son was very smart in other things, but when it came to his wife and sister, his brain seemed to have been kicked by a donkey.
“The Lu family only has one daughter, Lu Ronghui. Everyone else should go back to where they came from.”
"Bai Rongjun grew up in our family since she was little. Even if we don't expect her to be grateful to the Lu family, she should at least hope that our family will be well."
Besides Rong Hui's matter, she also said some other random things to Song Qing, saying, "How can such a vicious woman be kept in the house?"
Lu Yang didn't care whether his mother still had feelings for Bai Rongjun or not; the point was that this person absolutely could not stay in the house any longer.
He has impure intentions and loves to stir up trouble.
"I disagree. Rong Jun is my daughter, and also your sister who grew up with you. How can you be so heartless?"
He Shuyue wanted to glare at Song Qing again. What bad things had Song Qing said about Rong Jun behind her back?
She said that the daughter of the Song family was no ordinary person.
"Rong Hui is awake."
Rong Hui woke up, and Song Qing quickly came out to tell them.
"Remember to tell me if anything happens in the future, and don't do anything foolish again."
Lu Yang looked at his younger sister lying on the bed. He was initially angry that she had hurt herself because of these things, but seeing her lying on the bed, he couldn't bring himself to say anything more to blame her.
"Brother, I have something I want to tell you in private."
He Shuyue was stunned. Sure enough, she knew. Was it she who had called her son back?
Song Qing asked them all to leave and closed the door. Lu Ronghui took out the materials and handed them to Lu Yang.
After reading the report, Lu Yang's face turned as cold as ice. He wanted to go out and find He Shuyue.
“Brother, I called you back because of this. Calm down first. Even if you can change Mom’s mind now, she will still leave the job to Bai Rongjun when I go to the countryside.”
